    maby it has something to do with evolution people who are very confident(had a succesfull life) will heal, but the not confident(the ones that are genarally weaker then the confident humans) wont heal. this means that the stronger genes get passed on

    @0AwesomeProductions0 I know that, I said "tried." Would their belief that they would OD, make them feel like they actually OD'd?

    This kinda reminds me of the terms "good luck/bad luck" "coincidence"? Does anyone see irony?

    @strikeout1991 Thats the preachers who hijack religion and use it for political means, please dont confuse this with religion. Even today all the religions are guility of not following scriptures and idolizing messengers just like the middle ages , you need more then just a fact check , you need a reality check =d

    @strikeout1991 Music masks pain , like drugs . its an escape works great and is legal :D Your depressed because of eviromental factors , what you eat , who you chill with , what you think about , how you take care of your self , hygene , positive or negative thoughts etc are all major factors that cause depression. Mostly its from bordeom or lack of passion in life , that leads you to think about negative things that causes depression :D

    Looks like doctors and nurses should wake up patient all the time so they can take medicine verbally and orally and effectively.

    it used to be successful in the middle ages where people where superstitious and brainwashed by religion they where paying money to churches cause they promised to people that they'd come to heaven if they'd pay them fucked up ages wasn't it?

    exactly,......I totally agree. But again, I would not be for that kind of thinking. It's not healthy and very hard to maintain. I'll stick with reality, thx lol :)

    What you say is partly true. What it is, is that you find peace within yourself, hence making you calmer and more able to face different situations. However, it's not necessarily by believing in God that you achieve such state of mind. Other people can do that too with the exact same results; by chanting (if they are Buddhists), concentrating (if they practice Yoga), and so on. If religion works for you, all for the better.

    well.....I'm not religious. But I used to be for a time, and I felt at that time my thoughts were different because of the things I believed. For instance I felt like I was empowered sometimes because of the belief that "god" was on my side. What do some people say...ignorance is bliss? Something like that. Religion can help with depression. Though I would never condone investing oneself in false beliefs, eventually reality will come along and contradict you and you will be at square one.

    actually you didn't provide an argument that proves that religion is successful. Successful how?

    "That's why religion is so sucessful." What do you mean by "why religion is so successful?, Successful at what?
